PS I'm originally from West Berlin, Germany and left after the Wall came down. What an experience that was.

I keep checking back. I can't help myself, lol. I re-read the start of this and I can't believe they are hatching! 24+ hrs without heat, soaked in water, put in the trash, fetched, exploding bacteria ridden eggs in the homemade, on the fly, incubator. Geeze lady, I'm impressed! I want even more pics!!!

Katharinad~ Great coaching!

Oh wow, love the names! Das ist gut! Danke! But since they're Blue Swedes, should they have Swedish names?

Live Sven or something??? When they're all here they'll all look alike! Oy!

I was stationed in Berlin in the Army in 78-79 when the wall was still there and later I was stationed in Munich and Frankfurt when the wall came down.

Small world. I worked at Andrews at the Maintenance Division when I've met my husband. From there we went to Worms and later to Augsburg.
You are right with the Swedish name idea. I think the names will fall into place when they are about 3 weeks old and their personalities will come through.
